The force from Ramon will be in the direction of the motion of the bed because Ramon is applying a net force. Once the bed hits the wall, according to Newton's third law, the bed and wall apply the same force on each other. There are two more forces, the force of gravity on the bed that points straight down, and the force of friction that opposes the motion. If you want to be really picky there are two friction forces: static an kinetic, but friction should be enough. Hope this helps.
